i'm going crazy and am hoping someone will have some thoughts on this!

i o'ed on either aug. 7 or 8 and then just this friday aug. 15 (which would be cd 26 and 8 or 9dpo) i started spotting- first light pink and then brown. i've been spotting for 3 days now. it's such a tiny amount, like a dime size a day (sorry TMI!!)

i have NO idea what this is! it is definitely not a normal period, but maybe it's close enough to my normal 28-30 day cycle, that AF just came early and more slowly.

has this ever happened to anyone? were you pregnant and still spotting this early on? or did your AF arrive early and in such an annoying way?? i'm too embarassed to call my ob/gyn and ask. thank you so, so much!!

What are your temps like did they fall like they normally do at af time? spotting is normal during pregnancy ,also some woman have spotting a few days before af arrives, and spotting can happen at the time of implantion ! I would give it a few more days if it doesnt get heavier I would test in 5 days !

i so wish i had been charting temps this month! but i didn't, so your good advice can't be taken. spotting seems to have stopped this morning, day 29. i took a test and it's negative. guess i just have to wait. thank you very much for your response!!
